The Baseball of Writers by Maggie Bishop
Baseball has the pee-wee, little, high school, college, the single-double-triple A leagues and then the major leagues. Then there is also the unofficial leagues of
writing.
The Writers' Pee-wee Leagues are those that think about writing and doodle on occasion.
The Little Leaguers attend writer group meeting and an occasional conference but still don't do much actual writing.
High Schoolers actually write scenes or outline non-fiction books.
College Leaguers have manuscripts critiqued.
Single A Leaguers send out query letters, synopsis and manuscripts.
Double A Leaguers survive the rejection letters and self-publish.
Triple A Leaguers are published by a small press.
The Major Leaguers are picked up by the major publishers.
The World Series winners reach the Best Seller Lists.
Where are you in the Writing Leagues?
Begin that Novel or Memoir Workshop (2 hrs)
by Maggie Bishop
Consider this workshop a roadmap to your voyage of discovery. That’s what a first draft is - discovery.
I’ll give you directions, stops to play and visit and re-fueling stations. Eco friendly and fuel efficient, all you
need is desire, pen, paper and a sense of anticipation for what you are creating.
Have you been exploring the idea of writing a memoir or a novel? Maybe you've written some notes or
gathered some photos or pulled out your scrapbook. Your life interrupted the momentum and the project seems too big.
This is the time and place to begin. This 2-hour workshop will help you get organized and actually sketch out a plot
for the novel or memoir.
